Great picture, great rider. If he didn't have the personality of a dead cat he would be the next Rossi. Where is Sir Les Patterson when you need him. I reckon he would tell him to ditch the girl and get in touch with his grest Aussie surname.

dammmn that's impressive

I can't even image what it would be like traveling that quick with your head so close to the pavement.

Probably fair to assume he's not on Shinkos.

I started hunting the lean angle photos, ended up on the bay area riders forum, some fantastic shots in a desktop wallpaper thread. I ended with grid girls, and 80+ more pictures saved and lost a couple of hours.

I blame you lot

Bit harsh on dead cats there mate.

Agreed. Sticking body parts out to stop the bikes handle bars from tying up (if that was the case) is just racing (eh Max), but blatantly pushing him off the track was dirty.

No way !!! that was a crap result in the 125

Torel missed his apex , Zarco had a gap to go for , Torel was forced wide ( he missed his apex ) then Torel sticks his knee into zarco , Zarco stand his bike up , Torell leans into zarco
Szarco leans ( a little ) into torel
They were both as bad but zarco should have taken that due to torels bad apex

if anything Zarco could have used too much track , but he was on the limit ,

Even if Zarco was wrong a 20 sec penalty is just plain wrong

Cut him some slack here, He clearly hasn't received his +7 lenses in the post yet. Maybe a presciption TV would help him see that Zarco was a cock. Maverick would have won if he hadn't had a tyre problem. Go Maverick!!

I've seen worse things go unpenalized...

Yeah I didn't see why he got 20 seconds for it, 10 would've been inline with Marco last week... nobody even fell off. It looked to me as if he had sufficient time and track to let the other guy back onto the track after the rumble strip rather than forcing him to take the grass. It was just a bit dirty, he could've made the epic pass for the win without doing that last bit.
